Local Visitor Attractions and Links

Mike and Caroline welcome anyone who wishes to stay in this idyllically peaceful and rural location. Whether you wish to walk, cycle, fish, birdwatch, try a wild swim or just relax and enjoy the countryside and wildlife on the Brecon Beacons, there’s something for everyone.

Cyfarthfa Castle Museum and Art Gallery

Cyfarthfa Castle Museum & Art Gallery is home to a curious collection of artefacts spanning 2,000 years of Merthyr’s history. It’s a small but surpisingly enjoyable museum with a real range of exhibits (children always love the Victorian rocking horse and “going to jail”) set in lovely parkland with a children’s adventure playground. There’s also a cafe on site.

Dan Yr Ogof Cave

Dan yr Ogof, also known as the National Showcaves Centre for Wales, is a 17-kilometre long cave system in south Wales, five miles north of Ystradgynlais and fifteen miles south west of Brecon within the Brecon Beacons National Park.
